I think the NHL needs to go to 5 mins and a toss for a fight. Maybe even 5 a toss and a one game suspension the following year. I used to love when the gloves were dropped but hockey isn't a combat sport. It's a contact sport.

I'm always going to miss the old days, but chances are I'm not going to miss the fighting all that much. Just doesn't seem worth it with the knowledge we now have.
